On the 1992-2002 Cadillac Eldorado, the Teves Mark IV ABS modulator assembly develops internal leaks and electronic failures, disabling ABS and traction control. The modulator is expensive and integrates the hydraulic pump, valves, and electronic controller into one unit. Moisture intrusion into the electrical connector accelerates failure.

This issue also affects: Chevrolet Equinox, Chevrolet Monte Carlo, GMC Sierra 1500

Common Symptoms

  • ABS light on
  • Traction control disabled message
  • Brake pedal drops under ABS activation
  • ABS motor runs continuously for short periods

How to Fix

The ABS modulator can be sent to a specialty rebuilder for significantly less than dealer replacement cost. Apply dielectric grease to all electrical connectors during reinstallation. Bleed the ABS system using a scan tool to cycle the pump and valves. Inspect the wheel speed sensors and tone rings during the repair.

Typical repair cost:$400 - $1,200
